Rumor: Rumors & Proposals Thread: Help Wanted

[McShogun99]

Fuch. I want...
Vasilevski
Makar
Rantanen

Even willing to give up Savoi at this point

Makar is probably as untouchable as Mcdavid but I would give everything outside of McDrai to get him.

 

[PBandJ]

Wonder if CHI tries to flip Knight?

Id have time for him.

No but it probably frees up Mrazek

 

[soothsayer]

No but it probably frees up Mrazek

Maybe at 50% retained. No thanks even then.

 

[McHelpus]

Hahaha no way we are beating Florida now. Holy **** is this organization terrible.

Yeah, his Edge stats are brutal.

 

[McDNicks17]

I forgot the Blackhawks signed Brossoit too.

Mrazek at $4.25M, Knight at $4.5M and Brossoit at $3.3M signed this year and next.

Then throw Soderblom as an RFA in there too.

 

[McTonyBrar]

We just signed Klingberg. Doubtful.

Klingberg isn’t a top 4 lol

 

[belair]

Klingberg isn’t a top 4 lol

Neither is Jokiharju. If he was, Buffalo wouldn't be looking to trade him.

 

[North]

A little over 7 million. For like the same length of the nurse contract.

I’m aware. Jones’ contract was not a good one and Holland allowed Nurse to use that as a comparable.

 

[McDoused]

That’s all it took?

That's a lot of dead cap for Chicago. Florida basically paying Chicago to retain that money and getting him at 7M. Good deal for the Panthers.

You forgot about Stu’s playoff pedigree…

 

[Soundwave]

Kinda sad when teams like Florida who already have a Cup want it more than our front office does.

I keep hearing from the Oilers talking heads that Getting a team to retain that much is very difficult…for a lesser term

 

[Shanahanigans]

Does Florida have the cap room because Tkachuk is gone until the playoffs?

Chicago retaining 2.5 mill for 5 years

Knight was costing them $4.5M, so only a $2.5M increase to take Jones at 75%.

Incredible deal for them, especially the cap management. Must be nice to have a good management group.

 

[Bumblebee Man]

Chi came out like bandits. Franchise goalie to help Bedard

Also this forces Bowman to keep up w Fla

 

[Shanahanigans]

Florida lost Montour in the summer and replaced him with Jones a few months later. We still haven’t replaced losing Adam Larsson on the 2nd pair right side from 5 years ago.

 

[McTonyBrar]

So we are moving him?

 

[Jumptheshark]

Good deal with Florida.

Hawks now have 3 goalies paid over 3 mill a season. Knight 4.5, Mrzak at 4.25 and our former goalie Brossoit at 3.3. Not sure how LB got that contract

 

[Heavy Dee]

So we're getting Rantanen??

 

[soothsayer]

So we are moving him?

I don't totally get this. It sounds like they confirmed Kane will be out till playoffs. Why not keep him. He's like a free asset in that case. The only way this makes sense to me is if they don't think he'll play at all, or it's a scare tactic to get him to play ball.

Kane's NMC turned to a 16 team NTC today and he had to submit that 16 team list.

My guess is the insiders are confusing that with shopping him.

Or they know they have to move him regardless because of next year and figure it would be better to do it now if they can.

 

[Paralyzer]

I love how many here are whining we didn't get Seth Jones and make it sound like he's some Top 1-2 dman. He is NOT the same Dman since his Columbus days, and even then, he wasn't anywhere near as good as he should have been. Florida gave up a 1st and Spencer Knight. That'd be like us giving up Savoie and a 1st. Do you honestly want Jones for that? I definitely do not want him for that. Especially if he shits the bed for Florida, because they got him for 5 more years at 7M a year.

As for Kane, do you honestly think the Oilers are gonna come out and say "Oh yeah, Kane is out the season and we will use his LTIR for help and then we can bring Kane back in the playoffs"? Like are you all that dumb to think they'd say that? I personally think the media has ZERO f***ing clue what is going on, and they are pulling straws on what they THINK is happening. We have 6 days until trade deadline. Why don't we all take a couple of steps away from the edge, and see what we do, than make shit posts like "BoWmAn usEs OnLy WaiVer WiRe PiCkS! HE's toO StOoPiD tO MaKe a TrAde!".

That still doesn't make a ton of sense to me because he'd be a free asset and the sort of piece the Oilers need right now. I suspect McDNicks is right.
